Hey Amanda, Doug, et al.! Amanda, if I may offer a suggestion - you may also want to put the stream link in the "HTML to display at top of this playlist" field in the playlist database so that it will be at the top of the page even when the comment with the stream has scrolled out of sight.

Thanks EFD. Great idea. Amanda, you could put the link in your show title for now and later add it to your program description so it'll be there every week.

Brian, blancmange is much too English for this crowd.

The blancmanges mean to win Wimbledon!

Brian in UK:
I think The Alarm are about to do a 30 year anniversary tour. Would need confirmation.

Wed. 5/11/11 12:36pm
Brian in UK:
Oh do not remind me of that facile game, James. For two weeks every summer people in this country who never have any interest in sport, profess to 'enjoy' watching Wimbledon. Elitist sport. Off the soapbox now.

i'll just come out and ask : what does CTG mean?

Wed. 5/11/11 12:38pm
Brian in UK:
Close to Godliness.

@Brian: Late Aug/early Sept in the NYC area is the same way, with the US Open centered in the borough of Queens. I tune it out, and I have license to bitch, having scored a free ticket in '92 that immunized me vs. tennis for life. Some folks dig it; I. Don't. Get it.

listener james from westwood:
PS. Tennis (or tennis balls) provide the not-Prince-Hal-anymore a good chance to send a French ambassador packing in "Henry V." So they provided a nice slow-burn moment for Shakespeare.

Aw dang, I missed Thinking Fellers Union.

Maybe there should be a way to remove this confusing & misleading bit from appearing at the top of every playlist, since it doesn't apply to the Give the Drummer shows: "Live Audio Streams: Flash (beta) | 128k MP3 | 32k MP3 | 20k Real | 20k Windows"

@Amanda: If I read right last week, the playlist art is yours; true? Cool if so!

Wed. 5/11/11 12:47pm
glenn:
ahhh. thank you for elucidating me.

Ranger:
Thanks for making my end-of-semester grading about a hundred times more enjoyable!

Brian in UK:
Doug, ref Shelby Lynne, no snog but for such a slightly built woman she has got a heck of a voice live. Wonderful. Apologies, Amanda for cross commenting.

Wed. 5/11/11 12:49pm
listener james from westwood:
200 more good words in the article I'm writing and I'll be riding the whiskey train! save me a seat in the Manhattan car!

Wed. 5/11/11 12:50pm
Drummer Some:
Ike, you are SO RIGHT about it being confusing, We'll figger something out.

Wed. 5/11/11 12:51pm
Amanda:
Yes, LJFW! It is mine! I cannot make you a Manhattan but maybe one day I'll draw one for you.

Rangeroooooo!!! Thank YOU for tuning in, my sweet! You guys, Ranger is one of my dear dear writer friends, a PhD student out in Columbia, Missouri. I went to visit her last month.

Brian, I will never forgive you

Wed. 5/11/11 12:53pm
listener james from westwood:
I like writer friends! Welcome Ranger and best of luck with any remaining academic hurdles this semester!

I looked, but I can't find any mention on line of "Any Way That I Can" speficically.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:39pm
Amanda:
I think it's safe to say it was in the 1960s so I will say "196?" :-)

Wed. 5/11/11 1:40pm
Ike:
Oooooo, shoegazery racket.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:40pm
Amanda:
Gone Shoegazin'!

I am not even sure that Merilee Rush first did Angel of the Morning, I may be just lying

Wed. 5/11/11 1:46pm
glenn:
she did. well, except for chip's demos.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:46pm

oh, found it - 1969. I was searching for "any way that I can," instead of "anyway i can."
(see http://hive45.blogspot.com/2010/12/choir-anyway-i-can-1969_19.html)

Brian in UK:
Chip Taylor, now there's a hero.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:49pm
Amanda:
Hooray! Thank you!

I saw a couple of YouTubes with "That" in the song title and assumed I had just copied it down incorrectly. I am going to change everything now so there are no mistakes anywhere for the rest of my life.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:50pm
Brian in UK:
Can I get off of the naughty chair now.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:50pm
Amanda:
Brian -- You are right about that. Have you heard his interviews on Michael Shelley's show? You should!

Wed. 5/11/11 1:52pm
Brian in UK:
I have heard them. Saw him over here a few years ago, had a chat. So down to earth. The music just flows from him.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:54pm
Amanda:
OK! Now that I know you and Chip Taylor are friends, you can emerge from time-out indefinitely.

Wed. 5/11/11 1:55pm
glenn:
any relation to richard and mimi?

Wed. 5/11/11 1:56pm
listener james from westwood:
thanks for the fun show, and have a good rest of the week, all!

Wed. 5/11/11 1:58pm
Amanda:
Hey. Thank YOU. (All of you.) I'll see you again next week...
